HTTP::...derType(3pm)

💖 HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Core::BaseHeaderType 💖

okay bestie, so the manual page header calls this one HTTP::...derType(3pm) (yes the name is literally chopped mid-word, we love a dramatic entrance), and the actual module is:

HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Core::BaseHeaderType — A Base header type 👑

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.09 — that's the vibe, that's the era 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::Core::BaseHeaderType;

that's it. that's the whole flex. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is a base class for header values that also carry around a parameter list 🫶. And like... that's genuinely it. There are no real user serviceable parts in here — ngl it's giving "look but don't touch", it's giving backstage pass with a velvet rope 😭. You don't instantiate this for funsies; it's the foundation other things build on. periodt.

---

👑 METHODS 👑

• new( $subject, @params ) — the constructor, obviously. Takes a subject and a list of params ✨
• subject — yeah it's just the subject accessor, she's simple, she's iconic 💖
• new_from_string ( $header_string ) — this one's lowkey the star ⭐. Hand it an HTTP header string and it will parse it into an object for you. string goes in, object comes out, no cap 🧚
• as_string — stringifies the link, and it does so respecting the parameter order 🌈. So the order you gave is the order you get. as it should be.

⚠️ NOTE: this will canonicalize the header — which means it adds a space between each semicolon and quotes and unquotes all headers appropriately. So like, do NOT expect your original string back character-for-character, bestie. it's gonna get a glow-up whether you asked for one or not 💅✨
